Pull up a mounting block and settle in. This week, we’re hosting the ultimate barn aisle reunion with three of our favorite Quarter Horse Influencers: Katie Van Slyke, Amanda Delgado, and Madelyn Houser.
Since they’ve all been in the podcast saddle before, we’re skipping the basics and getting straight to the heart of the horse industry. We’re catching up on their latest prospects, the highs and lows of the show/breeding season, and the reality of managing a "horse girl" life in the digital age. It’s all the barn talk you love, without having to clean any stalls.
Hosts: Ashley Winch and Cat Guenther
